Richie Incognito’s career in Miami is over and his NFL career in general could soon suffer the same fate after ugly details of his bullying of teammate Jonathan Martin emerged Monday.

In a fast-moving series of events, Incognito was suspended indefinitely by the Dolphins late Sunday night and then told he would never play for them again Monday morning after Martin gave the NFL copies of profane and racist text messages and voice mails Incognito had sent him last April.

Martin, a second-year offensive tackle, abruptly left the team last week because of what he said was relentless bullying from Incognito, who has long been known as one of the NFL’s dirtiest and most unpopular players.

According to the transcript of a voice mail Incognito left last spring that was obtained by ESPN, Incognito tried to humiliate Martin with racial epithets and vile sexual references.

Incognito is expected to vigorously defend himself against the suspension and fight any attempts to be released, according to a league source, but the Dolphins have decided to move on.

Though several of Incognito’s teammates on the Dolphins came to his defense after practice Monday, the 31-year-old lineman was roundly condemned by players on other teams and former players.

Retired Jets linebacker Bart Scott blistered Incognito in an interview with ESPN’s New York City affiliate Monday, revealing he took a swing at Incognito after a game as a member of the Ravens because of the lineman’s awful behavior.

Scott implied Incognito uses steroids and called him “a fake tough guy” who was “one of the dirtiest — if not the dirtiest — player I’ve ever played against.”

“[When I played him while I was] on the Ravens, I just couldn’t take it anymore,” Scott told the station. “After the game, he tried to shake my hand and I swung at him and he ran like the coward that he really is. … Like most bullies are when confronted by a real man, he didn’t want no parts of it.”

Miami cornerback Will Davis agreed with Wallace, then took it a step further by calling Incognito one of the most popular players in the entire locker room — a claim backed up by Incognito’s membership on the Dolphins’ six-player “leadership council” that is selected by a locker-room vote.

“Richie’s a funny guy,” Davis told reporters. “Everybody loves him.”

Dolphins coach Joe Philbin was on the defensive Monday in his first press conference since Incognito’s belated suspension was announced, and he deferred most questions to the NFL’s ongoing investigation.

Philbin, who is in his second season, declined comment when asked specifically if he was aware of the extent of Incognito’s bullying before Martin turned over the texts and voice mails Monday.

“I will tell you that if the [NFL’s] review shows that this is not a safe atmosphere, I will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that it is,” Philbin said. “I have that obligation to the players that I coach on a daily basis.”

Martin had told the Dolphins he doesn’t plan to return as long as Incognito is still on the team.

Incognito has been a problem child throughout his college and pro careers, getting kicked out of Nebraska and Oregon for numerous anger-related incidents before the Rams drafted him in the third round in 2005.

Incognito blossomed into Pro Bowl starter in St. Louis but incurred nearly $100,000 in NFL fines for dirty play and was eventually released in 2009 after head-butting two Titans players in a game and then fighting on the sidelines with then-coach Steve Spagnuolo.

Incognito was thought to have turned his life and career around in Miami, drawing just one league fine in three-plus seasons ($10,000 for a late hit) and getting voted to the team’s leadership council.

But an NFC general manager told The Post on Monday Incognito will have a difficult time catching on elsewhere if the details of his bullying of Martin are confirmed.

Is Richie Incognito's NFL career in jeopardy?

I feel sorry for this guy's girlfriend and\or wife, a person with an outrageous temper such as his surely must carry that temper over into his personal life, especially since this seems to be a lifestyle for this guy.

Incognito claims he was given the OK by some black men to use the infamous "N" card , but what they, and he didn't realize is, that card is "NOT" theirs to issue out. If it's in fact true they allowed him to use that word then they are now on the rapidly growing list of black men who are a disgrace to their race and their heritage, and they're just as disgusting as Incognito is...Outta here

I have to disagree with the former NFL Players talking about the
tough guy culture and Martin being soft. Incognito has a history of
violence and there is a line between hazing and going too far. Incognito
leapt over that line with the few pieces of evidence we have seen
(likely that more has happened than what we have seen and heard). I
wrote up a post talking about this situation and what legal action
Martin may take against the Dolphins: http://jdsportsfan.wordpress.com/2013/11/05/hostile-work-environment-jonathan-martin-richie-incognito-and-the-miami-dolphins/

incognito sure didn't live up to his name in college -- getting kicked off college teams, and who knows what else in high school and little league! btw: nebraska wouldn't kick a person off the team unless the person was caught with bloodied hands and clothes while holding a corpse, so incognito must have done awful things there!

maybe, being rejected by pro football will finally let him live up to his name, for sure and for everyone's good -- including his!!

Well, Philbin, you'll take whatever steps it takes to solve the problem on the team? How about you quite, you piece of pleasant smell? This kind of thing originates in the management of the team, and YOU are the head coach, you piece...never mind, you get the point.

You have to wonder. Why do so many of the black players have nothing but good things to say about Incognito? I suppose in the trenches he covers their a$$es. Sounds like Miami organization never laid down the law about what could be said while hazing a rookie. That's the crime.

That Dolphin's "leadership council" sounds like the root of the problem right there. Hazing is BS and doesn't build teamwork at all but just creates bad feelings. Only cementheads think hazing and 'paying your dues' is a constructive way to build character, and the worst are usually the ones that had a bad time with their own initiation. Nobody would ever convince me to hand over my paycheck to finance a bunch of self-entitled veterans. Martin should have smashed Incognito in the face. Even if he lost he would have raised attention and showed some self-respect as a man instead of running home to Mom..

Incognito you're a professional. And in the professional work environment people need to be treated with respect regardless of the industry. No one should have to tolerate the likes of you. No it doesn't toughen up the rookies, it simply makes the smart ones move on. Workplace harassment and harassment by co-workers is just not cool. You are a team and you treat your teammates with respect always.

There's teasing and goofing around in good fun, but this type of behavior goes way beyond that level. Once you start throwing threats and racial slurs Ino the mix, it is indeed bullying. I almost feel sorry for Incognito... he must feel like such a coward and a lower if he has to stoop this low.

The % of bullying a person does to others is often in direct proportion to the same % of lack of a good self image within that same person. At least it appears that way to me. What kind of self image does that biker have that tried to intimidate that man with his wife and child a month or so ago ? Certainly seemed like a loser , maybe he'll take time to retrospect and become more of a man even as he loses the ability to walk . I hope so .

It's illegal to haze in Florida and 43 other states. I hope this bully gets what he deserves. Sad when kids can't look up to adults as role models because they are bullying other people. Just terrible no one one stands up for people anymore they are too afraid of what there friends might think. I'll tell you what if your friend needs to bully someone to feel better about themselves they probably aren't that great of a friend.

Unacceptable - none of the team mates stepped up, head coach ignored symptoms and with that the organization tolerated this behavior. People need to be held accountable and fired, screw the record, do the right thing!

Man this guy is lucky that guy didn't come to practice with a weapon and kill him. This is not high school! You think you can disrespect a man in that way without repercussions? If the NFL let this go the way they let go of the incident in Philly we may see an athlete killed in our lifetime. Cognito should never play again.

Who cares as the NFL is becoming a one hand touch joke with the Refs controlling the games outcomes instead of the players. I would not watch another game after yesterdays call of roughing the passer for a hit in bounds when Luck was throwing a pass and heading out of bounds. I guess the defense is suppose to just let him make the play undefended. Trash calls like this made me see watching this NFL is a total waste of my time and I watched my last game!

Chuck Zito is a well-known bodyguard, actor, and tough guy. He used to be the President of the NY chapter of the Hell's Angels.

He reports in his first book, someone once asked him how tough was the hazing needed to become a member of the Hell's Angels, and he said, it wasn't tough at all, because the Angels don't engage in hazing of prospective members. And why not? Because hazing is an essentially humiliating, demeaning behavior, and the Angels wanted their new members to feel good about being members, not to feel like they'd had to be humiliated as a price to pay for membership.

If it's good enough for a real tough guy like Chuck Zito, it should be good enough for everybody.

@dudly doink Reading his resume, and all of the attendant commentary from those 'in the know', tells me that he's a sociopath, a steroidal neanderthal who needs to be out of the league. This is one sick mf'er who I doubt can be rehabilitated as he's enjoyed a lifetime of this behavior with very little retribution

@ThinkMn - Sorry, but you're trying to use logic on someone who obviously doesn't meet the mental criteria to understand it. Just a lardwad of a animal who needs to lose this sweet paying gig and go to work like the rest of us.

@Mark Ira Kaufman IRA, I agree this type of nonsense cannot be tolerated.The macho image these guys want to portray can go much too far.Leave the game on the field with good hard, physical, clean play,but treat the people playing the game with respect deserved to all.

@opaque/3ea8506a-45de-11e3-8e2d-000bcdcb8a73 No one should have to tolerate that nonsense in a professional work environment. May your boss stick you with lunch and his bar tab daily, then you tell me how it toughens you up and makes you a better employee. Your name must be Incognito - that's the real punk.
